Doing the Ironing
Sunday, 11. January 2009, 21:37:42
I am a huge fan of this blog, "Things Your Grandmother Knew" and wanted to share with you one of the post, "Ironing Making a Comeback?" I decided to take down the ironing board from the very tip top of my laundry closet and dust off the old iron! I haven't used the iron in ages!
How many of you iron any of your clothing? While doing laundry, I left the iron out on the hottest setting with a cup of water on the side to continually fill the steam part of it. I don't even know what that is called!
I ironed one of my favorite sheets and thought it turned out so pretty! (but that doesn't mean I will be ironing sheets in the future!
The sheet before.
The sheet after.
While I was doing that, Cinnamon sat beside me...bored as a dog could be.
Well give it ago at your own sheets. Supposedly ironing sheets kills dust mites.
Not that we have any, we just got all new mattresses. But I don't see myself busting out all the sheets that are in the linen closet just yet....
If you want to iron your own sheets follow this link for some helpful hints.

Personally, I LOVE to iron. I know; I'm a freak. But it's a Zen kind of thing with me...making a wrinkled, horrid-looking garment come out beautifully smooth and new. Plus, I cannot stand to wear clothes with wrinkles! I cannot say that I've ever ironed my sheets, but mine are the t-shirt material kind right now, so they don't really get wrinkles. They s-t-r-e-t-c-h over the mattress and look nice no matter what.
And the steam thingie is called the water reservoir.
Steam is our friend!

I do iron when I take the nicer dress shirts out of the pile of laundry.
(I try to get shirts out of the dryer a bit damp so they can hang to straighten as much as possible even so I still might need to pass an iron.
I have never ironed sheets.. My son learned how to iron because he had to for cadets...I told him I wasn't doing it for him!

Good idea to get the shirts out early.
Anyway....I have never ironed sheets before either. I don't think this is going to be a normal practice of mine...so yeah.

BTW - C & you got a new mattress, too? I thought it was only the girls! Congratulations...I bet it felt like a little slice of Heaven the first few nights you curled up in it. Is it soft or firm? Oh...and is it nice and bouncy?
